Garage Shop: Tools

Another tekton tool for the collection

 

NTD

 

How do you like that spyderco?

 

Love it. It's my EDC

 

Is that Milwaukee your EDC too?

 

Fits in the back pocket

 

Twinsies

 

Was thinking about the 56” topper and having a small table on the side of my new box, but man having a full 72” box is tempting.

 

If you do order them, make sure you open the box before receiving. My topper and cabinet were great. The roller was messed up though.

For a company their size, Harbor Freight's replacement policy is garbage. I waited 20 days to receive the roller. They won't send a new one until they receive the damaged one (20+20+20=60 days) per the wife. Gonna call them Friday since they haven't returned my emails.

 

How you liking it? Been looking at the makita one for awhile. Now that I have two 5ah batteries probably gonna pull the trigger

Bought this the other day. Kinda awesome so far. But I’ve only used on lugs.

 

i like it a lot. i only used it to clean up my back porch so it wasnt a huge job but it had enough power to get the job done.

 

I have the same one , works awesome

 

Biggest concern when I go grab my 72...

 

Same thing happened when I got my dad the little 27”.
Pulled it out of the box to a massive dent like someone threw the damn thing off the truck but the box was ok? Weird.


Picking up my Titanium 200 MP welder today, hopefully no surprises after the 2+ weeks wait to come in.

 

Happened with my roll cart..box was completely fine and opened it up to this:

 

I have a two car garage thats finished with an insulated garage door. No windows.

I’d like to strip the drywall on the two exterior walls, insulate with fiberglass (R19), and redrywall.

Some sources are saying insulating a garage is a wastes effort if its not heated.

What say you guys? Do you have shops that are insulated and do well?

I’m in the midwest. The goal is to be able to work in my shop year round and it be warm enough to do wood finishing work or painting out there. Which would basically require above 45F all year. That would require some sort of heat but I’m hoping just keeping it insulated could keep it in the 40s

 

My garage is insulated and drywall'd. It has one exterior wall, the garage door, and the other walls/ceiling are facing the house. It's not heated and it remains decently warm. We keep our house at 69 and it'll be low 50s in the garage when it's in the 30's outside. It's quite nice getting into a not cold car during the wintertime and is plenty warm to be out there working.

 

Still wiaing on

Im all about doing insulation anywhere in the house. just another barrier to helping out. I personally would install a GOOD window. It would be nice to get a cross breeze in when the garage doors are open in the spring, summer, fall. Even in the winter on a nice cool day get some fresh air flowing inside.

 

This is a good reason to go for a window. I have been averse to putting one in primarily for safety reasons. That's just someplace for someone to break in.

I was thinking of installing a ceiling fan in the space to help disperse any fumes from any products I use as long as the door can be opened.
